Opinion


THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LISA WARREN, Defendant and Appellant. B194274 California Court of Appeal, Second District, Second Division June 20, 2007

Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. NA070734

THE COURT:

Appellant Lisa Warren appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial that resulted in her conviction of selling a controlled substance in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11352, subdivision (a). The trial court sentenced appellant to the midterm of four years in prison. The trial court dismissed two allegations pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 11370.2, subdivision (a), which, if found true, would have resulted in two consecutive three-year terms based on appellant’s prior drug sale convictions.

We appointed counsel to represent appellant on this appeal. After examination of the record, counsel filed an “Opening Brief” in which no issues were raised. On January 23, 2007, we advised appellant that she had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions or issues that she wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.

The record shows that appellant approached an undercover police officer who was in his car and asked the officer if he could “spare anything.” The officer said he was looking for a good time and was not there to give away his money. Appellant asked him what sort of good time he wanted, and the officer said he needed “a 20,” which in street language meant $20 worth of rock cocaine. Appellant said she could get it for the officer, and she got in the car and directed him to another location. The officer gave her a pre-recorded $20 bill, and appellant alighted from the car. Appellant entered an alley and came out shortly thereafter and got back in the car. She placed a rock on the center console. The officer drove away and stopped nearby, where backup officers arrested appellant. At trial, the parties stipulated that the rock consisted of 0.33 grams containing cocaine base.

We have examined the entire record and are satisfied that appellant’s attorney has fully complied with his responsibilities and that no arguable issues exist. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)

The judgment is affirmed.
